OT: What software do you use for sample mapping?

I generally don't use samples, only sounds from my synths. But if I want to, I prepare the raw samples in Samplitude, then I convert them in Fusion Convertor and I make the mapping directly in the Fusion.

That's exactly what I did. Fusion recognizes also Loop Points etc., but mapping in the Fusion is horrible in my opinion... ^^
If there's any intelligent auto-mapping I don't know about, please tell me... (i.e. file name conventions).

I realize that this is an old thread but I was rooting around looking for links that still worked and found it and liked it a whole lot.
Your singing is fine, BTW. If I was still doing the band thing and a keyboard player showed up for an audition and he could sing like you I would have accepted him on the spot.
The only think I would add, if you are looking for suggestions, is maybe throw a little ducked delay on the high EQ on your voice for the quiet parts, so that when you get done singing the line, a little wispy echo floats off into the distance, and on the heavier part, maybe add a little doubling or even overdub a second vocal part in unison, with that slight "out of sync" techgnique that guys like John Lennon and Peter Gabriel use.
Otherwise, really cool piece.

Very nice piece! Good guitars really!!
I agree with the suggestion made earlier about doubling the vocals. There is a part where you sing in intervals, which sounds really nice. Doubling the rest in unisono could add just the right thing.
The drums are well programmed, with a natural feel on the fills etc. But since you keep (or kept? I know this is old) changing the drum mix; I think that the hi-hat is too soft, and at the same time it sounds too sizzle-ish and thin (which is perhaps why it is pushed back in the mix). Cutting the high end a fair bit and upping the HH level could perhaps bring the drums as a whole a bit more alive. Just an idea.
Good job, cheers.

New version ! As I'd like to include this song in my future album, but with new lyrics, it was the right time to make some changes : faster tempo, new piano intro, new drums mix, lots of additional Nebulae sounds, new solo, fatter guitars (I layered a V-Synth GT guitar on top of the Fusion guitar tracks). Lyrics to come, it's sooo hard to match pre-written texts and an existing music !!! Community Creatures 2009 |

I like the piece, well done. I hear lots of potential here. Personally, I associate 'industrial' with a much harder edge; you have the melodic and rhythmic angsts here, but I think it's too polished and too smooth for this genre. I highly respect your diversity and production skills, but I may be in the minority in thinking that much more emotion or industrial melodrama could be squeezed out of this track on just tone choice, levels, and productions styles alone... melody and rhythms basically the same, but energy levels changed... imho...
In other words, I would make this harder-egded overall. I like it as it is, but would enjoy it much more when I really am in one of those bad moods and want to crank up some 'industrial mood'... Whatever you do, keep on producing good music for you and for us...

I agree with you : when I listen to Nine Inch Nails tracks, I always say to myself that my tracks should be harder and more violent... but as soon as I start picking sounds and recording, a little voice says "think Marillion, think Pink Floyd" !!! And here comes another gentle ambiant rock track !!!
